There were also some whisperings that he is being blackmailed by the left.

Apparently he adopted two children from Ireland which is illegal, according to Irish law.

So that can be used against him, technically.

Remember when Obama chastised him (and the Court) in his State of the Union address?

Roberts has not been the same ever since. Hussein's thugs may have warned him of the consequences of being recalcitrant.

"What is Roberts afraid of? That his lefty friends will not invite him for the Georgetown dinner parties?" I think you may have nailed here, exceller!

While you must be a citizen to vote, you do not have to be a citizen to be counted in the census for the purposes of representation. You just have to be a resident. Indians and slaves had special treatment.

Article I, Section 2:

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.

" "the Federal Judiciary has no authority to stick its nose into the question whether it is good policy to include a citizenship question on the census or whether the reasons given by Secretary Ross for that decision were his only reasons or his real reasons."

Thank you Blair.

The rational that the request was "pretextual" was a travesty and Roberts proved again his true colors. In highly consequential cases he always sides with the left.

Trump should use EP to add it to the census. He should take advantage of EP that he has done sparingly so far.

For the love of God, isn't it normal to ask about citizenship? What is Roberts afraid of? That his lefty friends will not invite him for the Georgetown dinner parties?

Good Post! I was sure they were wrong in not wanting this left off the census. It would definitely be to the advantage of some as we would simply count heads and not realize these folks weren't even citizens. But I have some concerns about whether or not people might be penalized if they said 'no'. My grandmother was an American Indian and not recognized as a citizen until after my father (her third child) was born.
